Various Artists - "Earcom 2" (Fast Product 9b) 1979

EARCOM 2 - omg! Joy Division were on this! Sold my original copy in 1982
for £20 because of that! If joy division were still Warsaw at the time
then i could call them DIY, but unfortunately as they are post-punk behemoths,albeit, thee most perfect pop group ever; i shall have to ignore them here.(fucking gods though!)The Thursdays' "Perfection" is...er....perfect?.Alas,Unfortunately, they also contributed the worst track on any of the three Earcom records;the lamentable Otis Redding atrocity, "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay".(Bob) Lastly,the unpronouncable (always a pointer towards the ambition,or,lack of,of a group),Basczax; sound like they were competent musicians before the new wave,probably in some progressive space rock combo,and wore sparkling capes.That very much aside, their two tracks are rather marvelous. Another Fast Product Classic!Tracks:A1 - Thursdays - PerfectionA2 - Basczax - Celluloid LoveA3 - Basczax - Karleearn PhotographyB1 - Joy Division - Auto-SuggestionB2 - Joy Division - From Safety To WhereB3 - Thursdays - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The BayDOWNLOAD ear communication 2 and joy division(!)

Cival Disobedience is good:

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”
